Capitalism at it's basic form is a perfect economic system.
You provide a service for everyone else and get money for it. Someone provided you a service and you pay them money for it. Win win.
Capitalism is free trade and allows you to live freely. You capitalize on the opportunities provided to you.
I will never understand people who think capitalism is bad. It is the reason that people here live a better life than anywhere else in the world.
Socialism looks good on paper, but removes the desire to put in more work and get ahead because all of the hard work it takes to create a better life for yourself goes towards other people instead of you.
Capitalism has nothing to do with corruption...corruption comes from power. Socialism gives all power to the government...I don't see US leaders murdering people in masses like Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, and Lenin.
Once someone else starts deciding what other people need and don't need, they've removed freedom, and that's not the place for me...

Why? Because you are a damned fool, blinded by a cheap, spiteful need to make reality fit your political views. Go to North Korea, China, the Philippines, most any place in Central or South America, any hard-core Islamic-run regime or plenty of other places around the world. Take a stand that puts you at odds with the government or just the ruling Party....and then you will see how you WISH you were still in the US, subject to the rule of law.

"Capitalism"? Really? Capitalism on it's own, can't make you do anything. Only government can. That happens in big-government regimes where government tries to control everything, including making business (Capitalists) work for them, NOT generally the other way around. As far as those politicians who take money for favorable policies on behalf of some businesses, that's much more prevalent in those other countries than in the US.
